Efficient Rowing

Hot take: Connection at the catch is not something you "DO", it's something you receive when you STOP doing things that prevent it.

Today I could test drive teaching some new-to-me approaches to Connection.

How to DIS-ENGAGE
- overworking trapezius
- overworking biceps
- over working lower back?

You can talk at length about drills and timing - if you can't reliably establish your inner connections (head to tailbone, fingers to toes, extremities to trunk) the resistance and power oder the water gets stuck in wrists, shoulders, necks and backs.

Thanks mongo_oli for goofing around and learning together on the ride!

Returning - after 15 years - to working and trachinf through touch was a huge adventure. My New Years Resolution this year was to figure out a way to combine my growing psychtherapeutical knowledge with my Alexander Technique history. I learned "old" knowledge in new ways and I'm eager to get back into teaching.

Every once in a while, you need someone to challenge your beliefs. On the rowing world, .nolte is definitely one to do that. So this is where I went while in Canada.

Thanks for the friction it's how one grows and for letting me join your coaching.

This is one of my most important teaching. It´s really important to locate the hipjoints correctly in order to move the pelvis properly.

Please share and spare someone some back pain!

HJ location sitting knowing where your hipjoints are in your body is the first step to using them efficiently in the rowing stroke.

Meine beiden Artikel zum Rudern sind in der Recherchedatenbank des Bundesinstituts für Sportwissenschaft gelistet... :-)

Schaut mal rein.

My articles on Rowing and Alexander technique are no listed in the database of the national Institute for sport science. Yeah!
